i just had a really great day... i think the happiest this year, right up there with my own birthday... :) thanks nick for having the celebration... really appreciated it... and thanks to everyone who went over and made it all so enjoyable... :P

had to wake up real early cuz peiying wanted nick and i to go down with her to watch the tabletennis finals... when i reached nick's house, he was still asleep... v good... ;) haha, went to cheung cheng, found the venue and went in... the atmosphere was really charged, tensed. i cheered for the wrong side once, and drew a hard stare from another rafflesian. and i said sorry, then he said thanks for coming... haha, that was what i needed to jolt me awake. k, was really embarrassing... haha... the first and third rubbers were won easily. 2nd one was real close, but we lost it in the end. the 4th one... was up and down see-saw match, and i'm glad tt we won it... :) yeah... so happy for them!! the players were generally very very nervous... even when they were winning comfortably... must be real hard out there.

anyway, went back to nick's place after tt, played halo... was fun... haha, though we chose too hard a level and it was tiring... :P hehe... after zp came, we ordered pizza for lunch, ate... and i actually went to play bball... haha... well, the weather sucked being so hot, but i got to try playing... wah, i really suck... k, shall try to learn to shoot better... i just can't do it when i'm far from the hoop, the balls dun go high enough. bah... but it was fun... :)

mikail then came over, and so did chi... we played german bridge, and it was fun!! mikail did a last minute catch up by scoring the highest score in 1 round in the game, but fell one pt short of me. phew... ;) haha... after tt, we played somemore and just played our own stuff after daryl came... :) nice to see all of them after so long... though i didn't really talk tt much to them, having fun with them was really great... always love to meet up with my old friends.

oh, mikail gave nick a very interesting shirt... at first me and nick couldn't understand, and tt might have explained why nick wore tt shirt without any qualms... haha... it had a dog humping a leg... nvm... too bad his classmates couldn't come to give his other interesting present... :P

k, then dinner... was amazing... everyone who could come was here... and we just ate the buffet tt was catered, and just joked a lot... it was damn funny, and a little crazy... haha, tried to get nick drunk, didn't succeed cuz he hardly drank, just turned so red. and darn, he was the bday boy and should be the one being saboed... but somehow i was the one being made to sing songs?? got voice recorded... grrrr.... hidden cameras caught me, and it looked quite stupid. was avoiding a camera from 1 side, then turned my head, and guess what was on the other side? another one ha. k... anyway, was amusing having to sing the Tao Nan school song... well, i mean i'd rather have sang something else... rite??! then yeah, damn smart, tried to sabo me further and make me lead nick's bday song. but tt one, didn't mind tt much... ;) as a reward, got offered lotsa cake... yay!! :P

oh, and after dinner, hearing nick's sister, cousins singing kary-okie (tt's how u MUST pronounce it)... was quite... hmmm... no words for it.

finally, my only complains were - man u lost. grrrrr.... crap man... major foul up. and my ct gave me bad reviews... told my parents my grades fell lots, and my class position fell. like its so easy to maintain last year's position. my grades didn't fall tt much what... just all my As last year turned to Bs, and Bs turned to A... haha. reversal? and he also commented on my sleeping habits. arghhh...
